Lyrics
V1: In the stillness like a snowflake.
When she sleeps her cares away.
Like she?s on the path to heaven.
Between the lines of petals laid.
Let me in. Oh how I wish I could feel the way she feels.
In this state of temporary bliss.
CH: But my hands are cuffed.
And I?ve seen enough.
So tape my eyes shut.
V2: It?s her fault lines of addiction.
Cross the tracts of broken ground.
Where a home lies in ruin.
Between the lines she?s fallen in.
Let me out. Oh how I wish she could feel the way I feel.
From this permanent abyss.
(chorus)
Br: Float away, We?ll float away.
